IDIOT v1.1.5.60 is out. Nothing major just a fix for the bug with framework tools. If you are running IDIOT just select Help/Check for update and download the newest version.
[Samsung Mesmerize] fitti28:
I had idiot installed with v 1.1.5.59 and i went to help/check for updates and thought i installed the update yesterday. Today i went in to prview some boot animations and when i first opened the program it automatically checks for updates which is great the only problem is it finds the new version 1.1.5.60 and i say yes to install even though i though i already had. It didnt take the update so i closed out and when i opened it again it keeps trying to install the update but wont take it. Should i uninstall and just install the latest version? I wanted to you to know as maybe i am not the only this has happened to. Could there be something wrong with the update?

i'm using IDIOT v1.1.5.60 BETA, i encounter problem when trying to download PNG's to DB. i already pick an apk to extract, it shows the progress bar n said it's done but nothing appeared on the middle screen. any suggestion?

fyi, i'm using windows 7 tiny edition.
[Samsung Mesmerize] ehoba:
Hmmm.:confused: Does this error happen every time? If you can PM me a screen shot of this problem so I can see what is exactly happening. Also If you can Give me a step by step of what your are doing to cause this problem it will help me narrow down the problem.

Thanks

If all goes well the theme porter section will be done this weekend. I'm about 80% done with it. So after I finish it up and do some testing I will send it out.
[Samsung Mesmerize] ehoba:
Version 1.1.5.63 Is now out. Download from the first post or just click Check for Update
[Samsung Mesmerize] ehoba:
ATTENTION THEMERS!

I am currently working on a preview section of idiot and I am having some trouble designing the best way to display it.

I want it to be user friendly and the best people to tell me how they want it to look and act are you guys that are or would use it.

So hen you have selected the framework-res.apk what exactly would you like to see in the framework preview?

Also for you themers that work on SGS phones that have twframework-res what do you want to see in it's preview?

I have already finished the settings.apk as it is pretty straight froward on how it looks.

I have plans on adding the dialer,mms, and contacts. If you want any other please let me know.

I am also adding some new toolbar options to display.

1. Status bar icons

2. Ic_menu Icons

3. ? What else would you want to see?

Any input you guys can give me will help out a lot. Every one that submits suggestions on how it should look and act I will add your name to the scrolling credits in IDIOT under Preview R & D.

Thanks

[Samsung Mesmerize] Pointless816:
The framework preview should look essentially like the screen you have for changing the colors of text: it should feature the home screen, everything on the notification bar (if you could implement the spacing from the theme's xml, rather than a preset default that would be awesome), a text popup (like the ones that superuser has pop up when it grants an application permission), and a popup with buttons. As far as I can think, those are the items most commonly viewed in android, and thus the most vital to be able to preview.

As for twframework-res, the most important and commonly used feature are the quick panel icons, so an extended notification bar is a definite must. If you can add a button on the side to toggle all of them on and off, that'd be an excellent addition.

I'm excited to be able to preview the dialer and mms. The market would also be a cool thing to preview. Finally, and probably the most complicated because of all the proprietary keyboards out there, if you could pull of some sort of keyboard preview, you would probably ascend to godhood from sheer awesomeness.

Oh, and on two unrelated notes, first was wondering if you might be able to add in the feature so that when you right click on a png and choose to replace it with a png from the database, when the database window opens up, it goes to the equivalent folder in the png database and selects that png. This would greatly speed up work for many people I think, and for those who are selecting a png from elsewhere, a simple click on the "expand png db" button you've already added could just reset to a regular view. Second, any chance you have a png of the loading bar you use in the default theme of IDIOT that you could email to me? Gotta say, IDIOT is a beautiful UI, and I'd love to be able to steal some if it for my phone.

Having made a few themes for myself using the old-fashioned method, I must say that IDIOT is a godsend. Once I get the theme I'm working on released, I'll sing your praises all over the Epic 4G forums. Thank you so much!

EDIT: Just found a minor bug. While the files in the apk on the main screen are organized so that symbols come before letters (ie ic_menu_my_calendar comes before ic_menu_mylocation), the png database has them the other way around (ic_menu_mylocation comes before ic_menu_my_calendar). Using version 1.1.5.63.
[Samsung Mesmerize] ehoba:
Thanks for all of the input. I will be adding your name to the Preview R&D. I will look into that bug. It sounds like a problem in the sort algorithm.
[Samsung Mesmerize] bdemartino:
Keep the ideas flowing guys, so far it's more or less just been me coming up with ideas and ehoba tackling the coding, I'm glad he's reached out for more opinions as I'm not the most experienced themer, just have a lot of ideas :).

Ehoba, sorry for the lack of attention lately - keep up the good work man I really appreciate you keeping up on the project :).
[Samsung Mesmerize] akellar:
Not sure what's possible but check out the UOT Kitchen preview. If something like that could be added, where you can see your changes basically in real time. that would be awesome.
[Samsung Mesmerize] ehoba:
Thanks for all your help and putting up with me and all my questions.
[Samsung Mesmerize] ehoba:
Thank you for this suggestion. I have just finished integrating it into IDIOT. It will be available in the next release of idiot.

New version is out. v1.1.5.64 is out now but only for 64-bit users. I will be repackaging a 32-bit version tomorrow and it will be up soon.
[Samsung Mesmerize] Pointless816:
Awesome! Quite excited about this update, and thank you for your rapid response. Unfortunately, even though I'm running Win7 64-bit, IDIOT is being an idiot and denying that there's any update. Perhaps I flashed the 32-bit to begin with? Will reinstall and report back.

EDIT: Reinstalled and copied Idiot.exe into my old directory. New feature works perfectly and I am absolutely overjoyed to have it. Now I'm off to click that Thanks button as many times as I can for you...
[Samsung Mesmerize] antig3n:
Awesome program. This is exactly what I needed and makes life much easier. Thank you!

A question: After I make my replacements and click "Build APK" I get the following error: "Apk is not done compiling or something went wrong." After that the build apk button is greyed out, and when I look in the theme's directory in explorer it shows me apks without any changes made.

I am using the stock Heinz 57 Rom for my png database, and building a theme off of the Heinz 57 Gingerbread theme - I just wanted to fix a couple text visibility issues in the SMS/MMS and notification bar.

If this is not the appropriate place to ask for this sort of help - I apologize.
[Samsung Mesmerize] ehoba:
I will look into that.
[Samsung Mesmerize] ehoba:
An update is come soon. Just finishing up somethings.
[Samsung Mesmerize] antig3n:
Awesome - looking forward to it.
[Samsung Mesmerize] ehoba:
v1.1.5.65 Beta can now be downloaded via Help \ Check for update.
[Samsung Mesmerize] dhacker29:

i've been working on MIUI/CM support for idiot. I'm going to ask for some input.

1. How would you like to have idiot work on MIUI/CM? Exchange pngs in miui/cm with png from png db?

2. Should Idiot have it's own miui/cm png db?

Any kind of input will be Helpful.
[Samsung Mesmerize] ehoba:
In the process of finishing up adding the basic MIUI support. MIUI png db and the ability to change out pngs along with a view of icon,wallpapers and lockscreen images.
[Samsung Mesmerize] creepinm3:
Does this have Cyanogenmod support?
[Samsung Mesmerize] ehoba:
Not yet finishing up miui support now. Cyanogenmod coming soon. Thanks for asking.
[Samsung Mesmerize] dhaway_2200:

[Samsung Mesmerize] cyberliar:
Thanks for the instructions
[Samsung Mesmerize] ehoba:
Updated [OP] Rearranged some things. Added current change log.
[Samsung Mesmerize] mohamobo:
This is look amazing. I wonder it is will work on Vibrant..
[Samsung Mesmerize] ehoba:
Yes this will work on all Samsung Galaxy S type phones. It has been designed to be a universal tool.
[Samsung Mesmerize] ehoba:
MIUI support is in the final stages. I NEED 1-3 SERIOUS TESTERS.

Testers will need to supply feedback and bug reports.

Testers are encouraged to give input on what could make it better.

Testers will be added to the MIUI Support Testers section in the scrolling credits.

Please be serious if you want to test this.

Thanks
[Samsung Mesmerize] brett10:
I would definitely be willing to test it for MIUI, I'm always messing something around with my theme on my phone lol. I would mostly be porting themes or parts of themes to a MIUI Mesmerize.
[Samsung Mesmerize] lemonoid:
I keep receiving download errors on Mediafire. Error while processing your request. My internet is working fine with everything else, so I'm wondering if Mediafire is having issues or if the file needs to be uploaded again? Just asking to figure out if I'm alone in this issue.
[Samsung Mesmerize] sageDieu:
Sent you a message on google talk, but I'll put this here: I'm willing to test, and I have a friend who has a miui droid x who is also a developer and he would like to test.

[Samsung Mesmerize] ehoba:
Links appear to be working.
[Samsung Mesmerize] ehoba:
Ok... I haven't been getting any feedback from the MIUI testers so tomorrow I will be releasing IDIOT with MIUI support. I will be adding more features to the MIUI support so keep watching.
[Samsung Mesmerize] ehoba:
Updated OP version 1.2 is now available. Download full install or Help\Check for Update.

Thanks.
[Samsung Mesmerize] brett10:
Because you never gave us a download link to test the new version with it, we were stuck at the .65 beta, but 1.2 looks awesome! I can't wait to test it out!

Edit: Found a bug in the new version, click on help and then about anf I get this error message;
[Samsung Mesmerize] ehoba:
Thank you. I have fixed this bug. you can click on Help/Check for Update. This should fix the problem.

im trying to get started on sense 3.0 skinning, so is there a way to use an apk and build a database of pngs?

or is there another way to go about it for sense themes
[Samsung Mesmerize] ehoba:
I haven't had much testing with HTC. But it should all still work.
[Samsung Mesmerize] jpaulwaite:
because that's just how hard you rock man :-)
[Samsung Mesmerize] ehoba:
Updated change log. A new version is almost ready. Just a little more testing and it will be good to go.
[Samsung Mesmerize] ehoba:
I'm going to be releasing a pre built PNG data base very soon. =P

What kind of images would you like to see included?
[Samsung Mesmerize] ZombiiBite:
not sure how to setup with the prompts and what directories and what it is asking for, please help. I'm wanting to theme MIUI and not sure how to get started with the great software?!
[Samsung Mesmerize] moarbewbs:
Great app. Can't wait for full MIUI Lockscreen support!

Is it only going to include image skinning, or also .xml editing and previewing? Seriously, making those lockscreens is not that hard but constantly making the .mtz files and sending to over FTP to my phone and applying them takes longer than the skinning itself. Would be great to preview the themes on my PC (:
[Samsung Mesmerize] mythmystic:
pre-built PNG would be awesome :D
[Samsung Mesmerize] ehoba:
This is a multi answer reply.

MIUI Lockscreen editor section:

1: It will allow you to change then images of an existing theme.

2: It will allow you to edit an existing XML.

3: It will generate a preview of the lockscreen.

MIUI lockscreen builder section: (Under Development)

This section of the MIUI parts will allow you the end user to build new lockscreens. You will have a tool bar section that will allow you to drag and drop

start points and end points. Assign paths to theme along with assigning an

image to each section. You will also have a tool for telling the lockscreen where the music play will be. This will also be drag and drop.

Once you are happen with how it looks it will generate the XML. Then it will package everything up and have it ready to be added to an existing theme or into a new one.

I am hoping to have it to where you can preview the lockscreen and see how everything works. Meaning it will emulate the lockscreen in IDIOT. You can then click and drag the start points to the end point to make sure it's working correctly.

I hope that has answered your questions about the lockscreen section.
[Samsung Mesmerize] moarbewbs:
Yep, that's great news! Looking forward to the interactive lockscreen previews :D Thanks for all the great work, you're doing the android community a great service.
[Samsung Mesmerize] sotodefonk:
cant wait for the lockscreen preview for MIUI... testing LS in MIUI is a pain right now, I spend more time putting the theme on my device and test it than editing the XML itself :(
[Samsung Mesmerize] jamesro1208:
Where does this need to be installed?
[Samsung Mesmerize] R3D X:
You should add theme chooser support and adw themes with launcher pro themes thanks
[Samsung Mesmerize] ehoba:
You can install it on the desktop.
[Samsung Mesmerize] ehoba:
Theme Chooser(cyanogenmod) support is going to be added. I haven't thought about adding adw and go launcher support but I will look into it.
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
Please add go launcher ex ;-)
[Samsung Mesmerize] onlychevys:
What a great program!!!! I just finished reading this whole thread and have been playing with this program. Any idea when cyanogenmod will be supported and also Linux? I see me using this program alot in the future. Thanks so much for your time and sharing this with all.
[Samsung Mesmerize] ehoba:
No real ETA of cyanogemod theme support. It has a lot more details to deal with so It will take longer.
[Samsung Mesmerize] ehoba:
Hey guys an update is coming soon. I'm finishing up some final touches. I am adding one click root functionality to IDIOT. So if any of you have an old phone laying around and would like to donate it to me so I can test and add as many root methods to idiot I would be very thankful. Of course I would add your name to the scrolling credits as a donator.
[Samsung Mesmerize] ehoba:
Released a new version of IDIOT. see OP for details.
[Samsung Mesmerize] ehoba:
Updated scrolling credits. It can be found on the OP.

I'm trying to rom my brothers captivate for him I have used odin to put back to 2.1 and am at the point to reinstall update in recovery mode but it will not go in I have been trying for awhile holding both volume keys and power it on but it never goes to recovery just boots normal
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cappysw10:
What is the build number? Did you have the three button recovery before flashing back to 2.1? If not, you used the wrong package, you want the one with the three button fix.

Search for "how to use adb." Once you set it up plug in phone with development turned on and then run adv reboot recovery or download and it will get you there.

I know the people with DI18 have a the new update.zip but, does anyone know when the people with EB13 get it? Has anyone tried this update on a phone with EB13? I search and couldn't find anything. Thanks for any info

im wondering the same thing
[Epic 4G General] rocket321:
If sprint was smart they would have pushed the update for eb13 users first since most of them are probably people who did a manual update ;-)
[Epic 4G General] castro08:
Just my 2 cents but I don't think there going to get the update to eb13 user till Friday, I was the one who uploaded the update.zip here, and well It happen almost instanly when I went to di18, so I odin back to stock eb13 and was on it for like 3 hrs and never got it, well I couldn't wait so I went back to di18 and well I got it again,

But this is just what I think
[Epic 4G General] itsmebryan:
That's fine. I will till friday but, I still downloaded the update you uploaded just incase. When you used odin to go back to DI18 did you lose all your data? Thanks again.
[Epic 4G General] castro08:
Yah that's the only downside
[Epic 4G General] raymond4:
Has anyone got the update on eb13 yet?
[Epic 4G General] nebrando:
But if you root and backup prior to odin back to DI18 it makes the process of restoring your information less of a hassle. It is still something of a hassle, but it's not too bad.
[Epic 4G General] shook187:
How much data do one have anyways? I mean with titanium back up, and all kinds of restore apps, how hard is restoring back all your info? Today I went from eb13 to di18 to dg27 to dk28 back to di18 and now to ec05, all while restoring my 103 apps.
[Epic 4G General] kalico17:
Just like dk28, there will not be an EB13 to EC05 update. You will need to be on di18 for the update.

Least this is what I was told.
[Epic 4G General] motog35:
Would like to know this as well... thanks.
[Epic 4G General] snowmanwithahat:
I don't see how this could be true since EB13 was actually "officially" released.... someone like my mother would be stuck on it forever if that's the case.

There has got to be an update from EB13 -> EC05, otherwise too many users would be stranded on a "non stock" upgrade path.
[Epic 4G General] pzengota:
100% untrue. I would post the link to the info but the silly forum rules won't allow me to :mad:
[Epic 4G General] itsmebryan:
Isn't that what the thread is about? LOL
[Epic 4G General] musclehead84:
There will be an update.zip from eb13 to ec05. Probably will be pushed out tomorrow.

Sent From My Evo Killer!
[Epic 4G General] APOLAUF:
According to information published by a Sprint rep on BAW, there will be an update path from EB13. No ODIN to DI18 needed. I'm quoting here:

"Important Notes:

- Software version is: S:D700.0.5S.EC05

- Devices with software versions DI18 and EB13 will receive the udpate

- Download and install time is approximately 10 minutes

- Released in stages with 100% of devices having received the update within 4 days"
[Epic 4G General] itsmebryan:
if you can't post the link can you cut and post the info?
[Epic 4G General] GlassGorilla:
Mine says "Downloaded and Verified" but at the bottom it says "Battery too low to install system update. Please wait for battery to charge sufficiently."

I haven't figured out what this means yet, but downloading apps in the market didn't make it go away. I will report back soon if I find something that works.

URGENT UPDATE: I plugged my phone in and went on my break. When I returned, the message was gone. EC05 installing aorn.
[Epic 4G General] bagelicious:
Yay I got my OTA 10 minutes ago!
[Epic 4G General] Grogck:
That did work. Thanks. I didn't get an automatic notification but I did go in and manually check for an update and it showed it as available. The only problem is that I'm currently getting 'Download Failed' so I can't get it. I'm guessing the servers may be overloaded and/or maybe I just need to wait a bit longer.
[Epic 4G General] garr741:
I did the same thing to trigger the update and I also get the Download Failed notification. I've been waiting almost an hour and a half, and the link to the update on the other thread doesn't seem to work for me.... & I'm on wifi, if that might have anything to do with it.
[Epic 4G General] Grogck:
If anything I'm assuming they'd prefer us to be on wifi.

I'm honestly not sweating it too much. Would rather just have it update tonight so I can fiddle with it in case I need to iron out any wrinkles before work tomorrow.
[Epic 4G General] brandenk:
My girlfriend got hers and did the update this morning and didnt even tell me until just now lol

[Epic 4G General] Whosdaman:
So have y'all learned your lesson yet?...
[Epic 4G General] pringlet:
quick question...

For those having success with updating from EB13...

We're you running a completely stock EB13? I.e. all stock apps installed.

How about root?

I received the update notice but it failed to install.

thanks

[pt]
[Epic 4G General] ExploreMN:
My update failed. I did the eb13 update using the Samsung app you install on the PC and the only thing I did was root it, but I guess that makes my phone no longer authentic? Is there any way around this?? The eb13 update is crap on my phone the DI18 worked much better, and I'm hoping EC05 will fix the numerous issues I've had since then.

Totally lost on what to do next though. So if anyone has an idea, I would appreciate it.
